Massive Layoffs as Obamacare LoomsI ran into my neighbor this morning. We exchanged pleasantries for a moment and when I asked how things were I was told they were laid-off yesterday.They have worked at a medical device manufacturer for 30 plus years and lo and behold just after the election they are out on the street.I know they are Obama voters and I'm pretty sure they were on Tuesday.When I spoke up and said "That sucks, I have heard that there will be lots of layoffs in the medical device manufacturing field due to the huge tax burden coming with Obama care"I was told "That's not it, it's greedy corporations trying to increase profits"I wished them well and was on my way.It sucks when you lose your job especially after 30 plus years BUT I can't help but think to myselfthat THIS is what YOU voted for..

It's a cold night here in the mountains and Piedmont of the Carolinas,
and as I promised some time ago, I have a nice, warm fire in the
fireplace and hot chocolate to drink, if you want it. Perfect for winter
months.
You are going to need it in order to swallow the subject matter for tonight's discussion.

The lights have gone out in America now. They may come
back. They may not. It’s up to us. No one is going to come help us do
it. Other countries have America. We have ourselves.
….
Every time people ask me why the left has such a grip on this country,
my answer is because they worked for it. It’s the answer that most
people don’t want to hear, but it’s true. The left has been planning
this for a while. They have been playing the long game, building the
infrastructure and indoctrinating generations. And to beat them, we will
have to do the same thing.
….
Revolutions are not born out of success, they are born out of despair.
They rise out of the dark hours of the night. They come from the
understanding that all the other options are running out. Sometimes you
have to fall down to rise and sometimes you have to hit bottom, to
gather one last breath and fight to reach the top.This is still a wonderful country. It is the finest place that this
civilization has produced. Despite the events of the last day, it is
worth fighting for.

So, in the coming bad times when you see and hear those network
anchors filling you in on the latest depression update, remember they
made it happen.Enough for now about the media. What about those celebrity clowns
that funneled money into the dhimmicrat party and the Obama re-election
campaign? All those ‘stars’ that hosted fund raisers, made ads and
videos, sat in Letterman’s chair to make fun of you, mock you …. and did
it with your money in their pocket?
Still feeding the moonbats? Still buying, renting or otherwise paying
for the products of the people that work so diligently to destroy
everything you claim to believe in?
Are you still rationalizing that you’re not really stabbing yourself in
the back, not really sacrificing your children’s freedom, not really
paying your executioners?Are you still paying for entertainment without regard for who
produced it? Who is making money from your entertainment purchase? Do
you still donate to the bank accounts of Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan
Freeman and Chris Rock after they publicly insulted you as a racist?
That is, they label you as a racist for opposing a Marxist president,
while proudly admitting proclaiming their support is based solely on his skin color.
How about Matt Damon, John Cusak, Bette Midler, Ashely Judd, Sean Penn,
Johnny Depp (and a couple thousand others) who are absolutely
anti-everything-you-believe-in? Do you still purchase movies without
studying the list of participants in it’s production? If so, then you’re
not really serious when you whine about the next four years. Do me a
favor and SHUT UP.I know it’s hard to keep up with, hard to remember whether Danny
Glover is a patriot or does he kiss commie-tyrant butt? Is Gwyneth
Paltrow an American patriot or did she denounce America as an evil
empire and move to England? Does Steve Earle cherish his American
heritage or does he proudly label himself as a devout communist?I’ll try to help you with that.

Obama ran and won with an atrocious record, without
anything remotely resembling a positive agenda for a second term, with a
campaign based on lies, slander and hatred.
That’s what he ran on. And that’s what he won on.….
It’s the electorate’s fault.
The current iteration of the Democrat Party is socialist to the core. It
isn’t amoral, it’s deliberately immoral. It believes in
government-sponsored infanticide, government-sponsored theft,
unpatrolled borders, the destruction of the 2nd Amendment, the
deliberate destruction of Pax Americana in favor of what can only be
envisioned as the rise of a Muslim caliphate and the deliberate
destruction of the nuclear family. It believes in the redistribution of
wealth rather than its creation, which is perhaps the most offensive
concept to the American economic ideal imaginable.
It believes these things and it no longer hides from them, as it once did.

And one more thing …. What does it mean when I hear a Republican say it’s time to move to New Zealand?
It means I’m close enough to slap the crap out of them.

I've been thinking about this awhile, long before last night's debacle.
My ideas certainly aren't original, smarter men and women than me have
thought the same thoughts. I'm just repeating them. It's time that we
that love this country start putting them into action.

This monster that we call "The Government" has been out of control a
long time and only gets worse each day. In the next four years it will
probably become unbearable to those of us that cherish freedom and
individuality.

So what can we do?

There are many things we can do and one that would help the most is to
stop feeding the monster. The monster can't run without money. Don't
feed the beast.

1) Find ways to pay less income taxes. Most of us can't just quit
our jobs to stop paying income taxes. We've got bills to pay. But can
you afford to work a few less hours a week? If you could, working less
would help starve the monster with the added benefit of giving you more
time to enjoy your life. Do you have an accountant that takes advantage
of every (legal) tax loop available to you? You should never pay a cent
more than legally required.

2) Find ways to pay less sales taxes. Do you really need that new
gizmo? Could you find a used one that will do the same for much less
cost? Can you just do without it altogether? If there is a product of
service you really need can you find a way to barter for it instead?
Stop paying into the government coffers; they're just going to waste it
anyway.

3) Can you get money back from the government? Is there some
program you qualify for but don't take advantage of? Why? Pride? If
there is some program that you legally could use do it. There's nothing
immoral about it and the less money the monster has the quicker it dies.
Bleed it dry.

4) Find like-minded people to do business with. Never willingly
give your money to any business person or company that supports this
government. Only give your money to people that believe in the ideas you
do.

In general the less money that changes hands the better. Every penny
that isn't paid in sales or income taxes brings the monster's death that
much sooner. Every new burden on the monster only makes it weaker.
There are millions of us in this country that still believe that
"government" is not the answer. If we all helped, if only in a little
way, we could end this madness. I'm willing to try. Are you?

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking

He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough

His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered

With a black marker I cast my votes. Now time will tell. The voting was moved to the high school since they expected a large turnout. I got there at 7:00 and sat in traffic just to get in to the lot for about 10 minutes. After that it was about 15 minutes in line and another 10 or so to get out of the lot. Overall it was quiet. There were a few people holding signs for the local challengers to the Dems in power. As I was leaving the Obama/ Warren moonbats were convening at the entrance ( who is the patron St. of brake failure? I might say a prayer).My opinion on this election is that Obama and his policies and administration need to be stopped. Even thought Mitt isn't the best candidate that this country needs I feel it will turn the ship enough to help ( I hope).We are still in a mess overall and things aren't going to get better over night.I feel the best way to make the change that some want, i.e. Gary Johnson, needs to happen at the local and state level first. We are not going to be able to change the DC government without taking over the smaller ones first.My opinions, that's all.

One last side note as to how fucked we really are.I logged on this morning and my home page search engine is Bing. Check out the most popularitem.... "Shaq buys a house"... I hang my head... we are doomed.
